Secretarial Audit
Secretarial Audit
A Secretarial Audit is a detailed check of a company’s legal and regulatory compliances. It goes beyond annual filings and looks at the company’s overall governance, board processes, registers, disclosures, and statutory records. The idea is simple: spot gaps before they become violations.
We conduct thorough Secretarial Audits so your company stays compliant, transparent, and ready for scrutiny by regulators, investors, or auditors.
What we do
Review ROC filings, registers, minutes, resolutions
Verify compliance under the Companies Act, SEBI rules (if applicable), and other corporate laws
Check board processes and internal governance

Identify non-compliances and risk areas
Prepare detailed Secretarial Audit Report (Form MR-3)

Why this matters
Secretarial Audit isn’t just a legal requirement for certain companies. It’s a powerful risk-control tool. Clean governance builds investor trust, strengthens compliance systems, and reduces the chance of penalties or notices from the MCA or ROC.
